User Reviews

Excellent

Excellent portrayal of Michael by Navi and good to see another side of the story. Brilliant actors cast throughout. So lovely to have more of an in sight about the sad times and the good times of Michael's life. If your a Michael Jackson fan this is a must watch. The scenes with the children were very real to watch and the bond portrayed between the bodyguards and Michael was very believable. I enjoyed every minute of this movie. It has to be one of the best and most true portrayals of Michael's last year's alive.
